On Fire!
During a recent ecumenical gathering, a secretary
rushed in shouting, “The building is on fire!”
The Methodists gathered in the corner and prayed.
The Baptists cried, “Where is the water?”
The Quakers quietly praised God for the blessings
that fire brings.
The Lutherans posted a notice on the door declaring
the fire was evil.
The Roman Catholics passed the plate to cover the
damage.
The Jews posted symbols on the door hoping the fire
would pass.
The Congregationalists shouted, “Every man for
himself!”
The Fundamentalists proclaimed, “It’s the vengeance
of God!”
The Episcopalians formed a procession and marched
out.
The Christian Scientists concluded that there was no
fire.
The Presbyterians appointed a chairperson who was
to appoint a committee to look into the matter and
submit a written report.
The secretary grabbed the fire extinguisher and put
the fire out.
